I am not pregnant... but my cervix thinks I am

I am having pains in what I can only describe as my cervix, it feels exactly like it did just after I had a sweep when pg with DC1, ie: vague crampy feelings interspersed with stronger shooting pains. Also pain in my right hand back, round where my kidneys are. I went to the docs the other day to get it checked and the GOOD news is I don't have an STI , nor do I have a kidney infection.

Hi! I'm new to mumsnet, just seen your question, and it sounds a little like what I have, Adenomyosis, have you sent our gynaecologist! I think you should be sent for a scan, Adenomyosis can (and also endometriosis) are both very common, and can make it feel like you insides are being pulled down, my pain goes into my back as well, it is extremely painful for me, i'm looking to a hysterectomy, and i'm only 30, but I don't think you need to worry, but be sure to see a doctor and inisst on a gynaecologist.

There is a number of things it could be as well as endometriosis or adenomyosis, maybe adhesions or anything, just get checked out, just in case it is anything more sinister, but honestly, uterine conditions are very common, and can make you feel like you're dying sometimes! It affects you mentally as well as physically, so be sure to get checked out. X
